How to Design a Music Room

Purpose

A room intended for live performances or rehearsals requires different considerations than a room intended for recording or music playback.

The design of a live performance space needs to account for the placement of musicians and instruments, as well as for audience seating if necessary. A recording space must take into account the need for sound isolation and the positioning of recording equipment. However, the design of any music-oriented room calls for attention to the acoustic properties of the room's construction.

The first step in designing a music room involves determining precisely what kind of music room it will be.

Room Shape and Dimensions

In an ideally designed music room, the dimensions of the walls are chosen so resonant frequencies don't overlap excessively, and there is not a wide range of frequencies that don't resonate.

Determining the ideal room dimensions involves fairly complex mathematics, and the math becomes even more complicated when the room is irregularly shaped; finding the best dimensions is easiest when the room is rectangular with a flat ceiling.

The dimensions of the room determine the frequencies at which the walls of the room resonate; the walls vibrate with certain sound frequencies, causing those sounds to seem louder or softer than normal.

Walls

Typical two-by-four framing covered with 1/2-inch wallboard is very resonant, and some music room designers recommend using 5/8-inch wallboard covered with a skim coat of plaster to help deaden wall vibrations.

To further discourage unwanted resonance and sound reflection, the walls can be covered with foam padding and carpet.

If the room's walls vibrate excessively, they will cause audio interference that causes individual frequencies in the music to be indistinct or fuzzy.

Doors and Windows

Doors and windows resonate and reflect sound differently than the walls around them, and they also can allow sound to leak out of the room instead of being properly reflected back to the listener.

The ideal music room is an unbroken box with no openings, but since this is an impractical solution, music room designers carefully position doors and windows so they have a minimal detrimental effect on the room's acoustics.

Doors, windows or any other openings in the walls of a music room cause acoustic problems.

Electrical and HVAC Systems

The wiring must provide adequate capacity for audio system components, and wiring should be properly shielded to prevent electrical interference.

The wiring must be properly grounded, and in an ideal situation, the music room should be electrically isolated on its own circuit. When designing the room's heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems, the builder should be careful to route ductwork to limit vibrations in the floor and walls; furnaces, fans and compressors should be located where their noise does not interfere with the room's acoustics.

The design of the music room's electrical system is a crucial consideration.
